Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Marla Maples once warned the mother of a teen girl to keep her daughter away from Maples’ then-husband, President Donald Trump. At the time, Trump sometimes bused in models for parties at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, which the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein also frequently attended.

One 14-year-old model who was signed with Ford Models was told to “dress sexy” for a party in late 1994, according to a report in The New York Times detailing Trump’s relationship with Epstein. The girl’s mother, Sandra Coleman, said her daughter Tina Davis was one of eight or nine models scouted for the party who were “really young.”

“Some of them could have been in training bras,” Coleman told the Times.

Quick reminder that Ivanka made her dad swear not to date anyone younger than her when she was 17.

Totally normal conversation for a teen girl to have with her father, and not horribly creepy at all.

Like, what the fuck prompted her to ask him to promise this?

Surely not whatever is implied by these photos:

Even worse reminder that she had supposedly been asking him for that promise since she was 13 or 14, but he consistently refused to do so until she was 17. Notably, 17 was the age of consent for New York, where they lived. So he had refused to swear it until after it was “legal” for him to agree to it. She had been asking for years by that point. She knew what was going on, and knew that her friends weren’t safe around her own father.

The media should have been publicizing this shit every day of his campaign

I mean none of this is new. People just didn't care, they literally released a tape where he admitted to forcing himself on women during his 2016 campaign.

"Daaaaad, can you please stop raping my friends now I'm 17?"
"FFS, fine"
"Daaad, swear it!"
"I promise I'll not rape YOUR friends"
"Thank you. Wait..."

Yeah he's obviously done things to Ivanka, his words and actions show it, but also her own body language and that unsettling tour of her childhood bedroom also tells a lot.

Hey at least Vladislav kept to himself and just did his dark bidding on the internet.
